It’s a  famous ski town and contains four distinct ski areas: Snowmass, Buttermilk, Aspen Highlands, and Aspen Mountain. The furthest area in Snowmass and contains terrain for beginners as well. The more advanced people go to Aspen Highlands and Aspen Mountain.

In the city, there are many services from which you can enjoy restaurants, nightlife, shopping … In this city, you may find someone famous! It has a reputation for having visits from rich and popular people!

For accommodation, we recommend Snowmass Village and the city of Aspen, since in the other two options there are very few places of accommodation.

This ski area is mostly for families, it’s perfect for it! Also, it’s super close to the city of Denver. It’s one of the most accessible ski areas in Colorado and the fourth largest. It contains 7 different tracks on two different mountains.
